[QUOTE="MarkLA, post: 166414, member: 12487"] OK, so I did labs at trough: Free T3 2.5 (range 2.0-4.4) Reverse T3 9.9 (range 9.2-24.1) So, Reverse T3 is OK, which is probably not surprising because it's made from T4 which was low. Here's what I'm thinking: Free T3 trough is a little low at 2.5. At peak it was 6.1. Lowering the Cytomel dose and/or spreading it out throughout the day seems like a good idea. Free T4 is low (Post 1). I know T3 is where the rubber meets the road, but I think it's good to have decent T4 as well because there is conversion of T4->T3 in all cells. TSH at 0.922 (Post 1) is not too suppressed. Going based on this, I think the overall dose is pretty close. What I did: Naturethroid 3/4 gr -> 1 gr. Why? Increase T4 a bit. Cytomel 20mcg 1x day -> 10 mcg spread over two doses. Why? Drop peak FT3 levels, reduce T3 dose overall, keeping in mind that the additional 1/4 gr Naturethroid has a little T3 too. Thoughts?
